Who says vengeful ghosts can't go on blind dates?
Chapter 25: The Bet
Perhaps mixed with a little curiosity and surprise, but the ghost's eyes were filled with nothing but pure malice.
Something seems... not good.
Song Yufei suddenly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
Suddenly, she felt a chill run down her body from the top of her head.
The clown's voice was loud and undisguised. So, almost every ghost in the casino heard it.
The clown was the casino's big boss. So, naturally, he saw right through Song Yufei.
That makes sense, though. When investors come to visit, how could the casino's bigwigs possibly not show up?
The clown couldn't wait to point this out the moment he saw through Song Yufei. Clearly, this great demon's malice towards humanity was almost tangible.
Does the pressure become this great as soon as the big demon appears?
Song Yufei looked nervously at Ren Zhizhe.
The clown's decision to publicize this matter is most likely aimed at attracting the attention of other vengeful spirits. Therefore, the only thing truly worth noting is Ren Zhizhe's attitude.
Although the ghost broker believed that Ren Zhizhe genuinely wanted to go on blind dates with humans, Song Yufei still felt somewhat uneasy.
However, Ren Zhizhe only glanced at her and didn't say anything.
Not to mention humans, even their fellow demons are treated with malice as much as possible.
But Ren Zhizhe seems to be different.
Ren Zhizhe never showed any malice towards her from beginning to end.
If Song Yufei hadn't already known that the other party was a vengeful ghost, she might have genuinely thought Ren Zhizhe was just a player.
"I see."
Having figured out Ren Zhizhe's attitude, the clown immediately dropped the matter.
Although he really wanted to kill these rats who had infiltrated the casino, that wasn't why he came here this time.
The clown's six eyes all turned to Ren Zhizhe. Then, his clown hat suddenly popped open, revealing a music box with a tiny figure inside.
The little people started dancing.
But there was no sound; the little figures were just dancing.
"Mr. Ren, shall I take this gamble with you?" He bowed to Ren Zhizhe. "Please give us this opportunity. If we can leverage your reputation to attract customers, we can also provide you with more profit sharing."
Ren Zhizhe's eyes unconsciously avoided the dancing figure on the clown hat.
Are you sure?
"Yes. After all, it's part of operations." The clown's three mouths grinned simultaneously.
"Hmm... let me think."
"Of course, you can certainly consider it," the clown laughed.
As long as it doesn't involve violating the rules or offending the other party, even if the other party is stronger than him, he can still have some influence over them.
The ghost broker also tried to use the murder rule on Ren Zhizhe.
But the Joker didn't take such risks as the Ghost Broker. He used the ghostly artifacts on his clown hat, not his own rules for killing.
"What do you think?" Ren Zhizhe was silent for a while before asking Song Yufei for her opinion.
Song Yufei instinctively wanted to refuse. But when she thought that doing so might anger the clown and the fly ghost, she hesitated.
The Joker's rules for killing are completely unknown. It's still uncertain whether Ren Zhizhe will protect her; if the Joker suddenly attacks and kills, she might very well be finished.
"...Let's play a few rounds then," Song Yufei said.
However, when she looked at Ren Zhizhe, she suddenly noticed that he frowned after hearing her words, seemingly lost in thought.
Song Yufei was stunned on the spot.
Did she... say something wrong?
"Ah, let's get started as soon as possible." The clown clapped his hands. The Fly Ghost realized what was happening and quickly used his authority as the person in charge to give everyone present some game coins.
The clown took some, and Ren Zhizhe took some.
So, the remaining game coins belong to Song Yufei.
She touched one of the tokens. The token seemed normal, as if it were just a regular game coin.
"Here are your game coins, hiss." Seeing that Song Yufei didn't reach out to take them, Fly Ghost personally handed over the game coins.
Finally, as if she had made up her mind, Song Yufei took the game coins that the fly ghost handed her.
The game has begun.
……
A ghost casino.
Ren Zhizhe sat at the table, with a stack of game coins next to him.
He didn't want to dabble in those casino games.
He immediately regretted it as soon as he sat down.
But there's no use regretting it now; Ren Zhizhe has already agreed. Going back on one's word isn't good, so he can only sit down and have some fun.
So, how was he persuaded again?
It seems that at the time he thought what that person said made some sense... Now, looking back, he wonders if he was out of his mind.
The clown deliberately chose the gambling table surrounded by the most human players, and at the same time took the opportunity to let the idle human players sit down and act as "playmates".
They actually wanted them dead.
But Ren Zhizhe didn't care much about any of that. In his eyes, the clown only chose this table because there were quite a few people sitting around it, making it easy to quickly get into a game.
He felt that the other party had done nothing wrong.
The game began quickly.
The gambling games in the casino are not fixed; it seems that you can gamble however you want, without any fixed format.
"No wonder the casino lost money..."
Luckily, he tried it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known that this casino was so outrageous that it didn't even have a fixed gambling system.
Why did he invest here in the first place? He seriously doubted that he had been blind back then.
"Um……"
I think I forgot.
During that period, Ren Zhizhe mostly invested in whichever investment seemed most profitable. After investing so much, aside from a few exceptionally successful ones, he naturally forgot about the others.
However, the Joker always wins.
Although the bets are not fixed, the Joker always wins.
Before long, the number of players at the gambling table began to decrease.
Now, more and more vengeful spirits have been forced to join.
Unlike humans, vengeful spirits have a higher margin for error.
If a human loses a bet, they must compensate the vengeful ghost with items. Once the ghost has exhausted its compensation, it must pay with its life.
The choices for vengeful ghosts are much greater. Ghostly items, hands, feet, body parts, even heads... all of these can be used as stakes to exchange for game currency.
"Ha!" The clown grinned maliciously with all three faces and threw all the cards in his hand.
He won again.
This time, he was betting against four other players and Ren Zhizhe. Apart from Ren Zhizhe, the other players had completely lost all their chips.
Ren Zhizhe frowned.
Ren Zhizhe always frowned whenever he saw the clown win.
He believed the other party was cheating. However, the form of the bet was flexible.
The terms of this bet were proposed by the four players, and theoretically, they had a greater chance of winning if they cooperated.
But the Joker still won.
Even with the four players working together and Ren Zhizhe trying his best to prevent the clown from getting his way, the clown still won in the end.
He narrowed his eyes.
Ren Zhizhe originally intended to play around and leave immediately. But he had to admit that the clown's methods did indeed pique his interest.
In addition, his blind date seemed to be very interested in knowing the Joker's winning streak, and even gave him some game coins, so he patiently played a few more games with the Joker.
Ren Zhizhe was actually very curious.
The other person must have cheated, but he couldn't tell at all.
Was he hiding something? But he kept staring, and the clown wasn't hiding anything at all.
Furthermore, even in bets that don't involve cards, the Joker always wins.
During this time, he inspected the props used to assist in the gambling.
Very normal.
Ren Zhizhe didn't see anything wrong with it.
So, how exactly did they do it?
Ren Zhizhe was genuinely curious. He felt that the other party was probably just lucky.
But, was it all just luck?
No, absolutely not.
Ren Zhizhe frowned. He thought for a while, then his brows relaxed again.
"...I don't want to think about it anymore."
After all, this is their livelihood; I certainly couldn't have come up with this myself.
Ren Zhizhe felt he couldn't waste any more time at the casino. He'd come here for a blind date, but what kind of person would spend all that time gambling?
But as the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. He decided to observe the situation one last time before leaving.
Finally, Ren Zhizhe's gaze fell on Song Yufei.
……
"Hey! Let me try again!"
"I almost won that round!"
"I've got a brilliant idea! Just say it like this... Go quickly, I'm sure I can beat that damned commoner!"
Omg.
Song Yufei felt extremely troubled.
This stupid insect has been chattering on and on for a long time.
It seems he's completely gone mad.
How could a vengeful ghost suddenly go mad?
It's actually quite normal for vengeful ghosts to go mad.
She glanced at Ren Zhizhe. At this moment, Ren Zhizhe had already used up half of his game coins.
Ever since she discovered that Ren Zhizhe seemed to be interested in the clown's gambling skills, she immediately gave him all her game coins after losing a game.
This is very useful.
Song Yufei not only pleased Ren Zhizhe, but also extricated herself from the gambling game.
The clown was very unhappy about this. However, Ren Zhizhe protected her, so the clown had no choice but to shut up.
Interestingly, the worm inside her head was also unhappy with her actions.
Song Yufei has only ever participated in one gambling game.
She was indeed betting against the Joker at first. But halfway through the bet, the Brain Worm made a few sarcastic remarks to her and then told her to do as it said.
Just as the worm inside the skull was in high spirits, it suddenly lost the bet.
The worm inside the skull seemed to explode at this.
"I was so close! It must have been this commoner's good luck to get another chance!"
This fool wants to go all in and win back everything he lost.
Helpless, Song Yufei was startled and quickly gave all her game coins to Ren Zhizhe.
"Go get some game coins. I'm determined to get my face back!"
"Damn it! If I ever get the chance, I'll tear that commoner to pieces myself!"
Song Yufei listened while pouting.
The fool got desperate.
Look, they're in a hurry again.
She could only pretend she hadn't heard anything.
Song Yufei thought for a moment. While listening to the worm inside her head complaining, she glanced at the other players.
There were originally quite a few players, who were probably all participating in the same bizarre game, but now only four or five remain.
Generally, players who can participate in the same bizarre game are mostly from the same or neighboring cities.
Most of the eerie games have around ten players. This casino has a relatively large number of players, who likely come from three different cities.
Just as she was about to continue looking around, Ren Zhizhe suddenly tugged at her.
"I don't want to stay any longer. Why don't you play one last game? Then we'll leave."
"Huh? Me?"
bet?
Let her gamble?
As Song Yufei was thinking, another shrill laugh came from beside the gambling table.
The clown's three faces turned to her simultaneously, his six eyes brimming with undisguised malice: "Please, miss. I remember you almost won before, didn't you?"
Song Yufei didn't feel anything. However, the worm inside her head immediately started screaming as if it had been set on fire.
"Tell this commoner that I want to play dice!"
The worms inside the skull kept making noise.
Having no other choice, in order to prevent her brain from trembling again, Song Yufei had to do as instructed.
Each player rolls five six-sided dice. Then, they take turns guessing the minimum number of dice that are on the table.
When calling out, you can only call out loudly.
It's that simple.
However, the fool was quite smug, repeatedly claiming that this was a kind of entertainment that only the upper-class ghost nobles were entitled to enjoy.
Song Yufei was so embarrassed she wanted to dig her toes into the ground.
She silently added another label to the worm inside her brain.
Fortunately, apart from her, no one else present, whether human or ghost, could hear what the stupid bug was saying.
"Snapped!"
The dice cup was slammed onto the table.
Song Yufei opened the dice cup and glanced at her dice.
There are four dice that show a six.
"Tell him! I'm going to shout seven sixes!"
Seven sixes?
Song Yufei's arm trembled slightly.
Has he really gone mad?
"Hurry! Hurry! You can't go wrong listening to me!"
"Then... seven sixes?"
Song Yufei spoke cautiously.
Sure enough, the clown just looked at her like she was an idiot, and then removed the dice cup without hesitation.
There is no six.
The clown's dice only have three and five.
"How is this possible! Damn it! I have to come over and tear this guy apart alive!"
Song Yufei was speechless and silently filled in the missing six for this count bug in her mind.
"Ah, let's go then. I'm sorry to have kept you in a place like this for so long." Seeing this, Ren Zhizhe stood up from the side.
He misinterpreted Song Yufei's initial shouts as meaning she didn't want to gamble.
Looking back now, it seems that's indeed the case.
Song Yufei handed over all her game coins to him after playing just one round.
So why did Song Yufei agree to stay when he asked her?
Ren Zhizhe glanced at Song Yufei.
Is it because they don't want him to have too strained a relationship with the casino?
"It's nothing, it's nothing." Song Yufei hadn't thought that much about it. She just thought this anthropomorphic ghost was quite polite, almost like a human salesperson who was good at talking and very humble.
However, she had barely stood up and taken two steps when a human player sat down in her original spot.
"Ah, after watching for so long, it seems like I have no choice but to gamble."
Ok?
Song Yufei turned her head subconsciously.
It looks like a girl.
She has jet-black eyes.
